The claw scratching her nerve had Serenity's breath stuck in her throat.She closed her eyes for a second, regretting her decision to step out of her comfort and safety zone by coming downstairs.Her heart started to thump rapidly in her chest while her life remained at the mercy of the hostile party. Serenity opened her eyes and turned her head to smile at Janice."It has been a while. But that's no way to greet someone, right?" Serenity raised one of her eyebrows. If one noticed intently enough, the tremble in her voice wouldn't go unnoticed."Snooping around like a mutt? Do the rules need to made clear to you? Or are you perhaps trying to harm the pack?" Serenity felt the sharp edge poke her delicate lifeline."There is no way a mere human like me can compare to a dog. I have weak senses. You, on other hand, as a werewolf must have really strong nose. I admire it," Serenity commented.'Serenity, oh, Serenity, that sharp tongue of yours will definitely be the reason you die one day
But before she was able to meet the ground, Kieran wrapped his hand around her waist.Serenity grabbed tightly onto his shirt for support. Her chest heaved up and down. Her teary hazel eyes glared at him. This was the worst scare she had gotten in her life.Even though she wanted to scold this man, drained out at this point, she didn't bother cursing him. At least he decided to spare her life for now.But who knows when this lunatic will change his mind?As he proceeded to pick her up, Serenity grabbed him tightly, not intending to let go of him at any cost. A chuckle left his mouth, causing his chest to rumble.The sound caused all her negative emotions to drain out for a second, finding it melodious.She rubbed her ear.'No, Serenity, you can't be seduced by this mean man.'Kieran carried her to her office. Serenity's eyes fell on her phone on the table, and she reached out for it. After that, she finally jumped off of the Alpha.Smiling at him, she expressed, "Thank you."Under Ki
The next day when Serenity went back to her office, she was glad to see that the floor was all clean. Whoever was responsible for providing cleaning services, she silently thanked them for their efficient work.Serenity walked around her office, deep in thought about what to do in the future. That's when, the door of her office was pushed open. Serenity turned her head to find Kate standing there, looking frantic. Bullets of sweat travelled down her forehead."Doctor, my son, Tom, he fainted. I don't know what happened. He is not waking up. Please help me. Please save him," Kate begged desperately, going up to grab Serenity's hand.Serenity solemnly looked at the woman and comfortingly patted her hand."I will take a look at him. Calm down," Serenity expressed.One of the pack members supported the teenage boy and placed him down on the bed. Serenity examined him with her eyes once, noticing how he looked paler than usual and he was breathing heavily.Frown etched on her forehead, no
Relief crossed through Serenity's face when she found the Beta standing at the door. She raised both of her hands."Beta, here, help me get the Alpha off of me," she asked for help.Richard walked over and lifted Kieran off of her. As his weight shifted over to the Beta, Serenity could finally breathe properly. Standing up, she stretched her arms, while Richard placed the Alpha down on the other couch. Taking in the Alpha's weak condition and high temperature, Richard looked around, and his eyes fell on the syringe on the floor. Nervousness travelled through Serenity as she followed his line of sight."Will you believe me if I call it a misunderstanding? I had no intention to hurt the Alpha."Richard raised one of his eyebrows before looking at Kieran's almost unconscious state."Well, maybe, I wanted to hurt him a little, but this is nothing life-threatening. He will be back to shape in a matter of a few hours. And once he is up, I will give him some drugs to boost him up further,"
The knocks on the door made Kieran respond, "Come in."The door pushed open slowly, and Serenity peeked her head in. A wide smile adorned her face as she voiced out, "Alpha, may I enter?"Kieran tapped the pen on the table. "I thought I had forbidden you from this floor.""Well, since you're somewhat my patient, I thought it would be only right for me to take the chance and check up on you," Serenity stated, inviting herself into the room and closing the door behind her."Just because I haven't punished you yet doesn't mean you can cross the line over and over again," Kieran enunciated.Serenity sighed."Why do your words always have to be covered in thorns, Alpha? You know, when you try to talk sweetly, it gradually leads your mood to get better as well. Why do we have to make it bitter for everyone?" Serenity expressed."The dungeon is just beneath the pack house," Kieran pointed out.Serenity gulped and sheepishly giggled. "I talked way too much again, didn't I? But are you feeling
Serenity pushed the menu towards the Alpha."What would you like to eat, Alpha?" she questioned.As his eyes trained on the menu, she added, "I would recommend the pasta. It tastes absolutely lovely."Kieran raised his line of sight to look at her and asked, "Can you keep your mouth shut?"Serenity scrunched up her nose for a second before tightly pressing her lips into a thin line. Once Kieran was done letting the waiter know his order, Serenity mentioned her regular order.As the meal was being prepared, Kieran spent the time on his phone. As for Serenity, she folded her hands on the table and stared at the Alpha in an observant manner.His hair was pulled back into a ponytail. A few strands fell on his forehead. The screen light reflected on his mesmerizing grey blue eyes. The shirt he wore hugged his figure in a flattering manner, and Serenity vaguely noticed the women stealing looks at him.Serenity shook her head.'If only they knew how lovely his personality.'"Move your eyes a
Serenity grabbed the glass in front of her and dunked it down. The burning sensation that travelled down her throat invigorated her. Serenity wasn't the one to usually indulge in alcoholic drinks, but once in a while, she craved the thrill.From the corner of her eyes, she spotted the frown sitting on the Alpha's face. The environment of the bar— the loud music, flashing lights, and bodies crowding the area— did not settle well with him. Also, regret started to form within him for complying along with Serenity."Aren't you drinking?" Serenity asked."I would rather remain sober," Kieran vocalized. Although Kieran didn't totally abstain from drinking, however, he preferred to maintain a clear state of mind. Being intoxicated did not suit his preference as it would lead to mistakes being made.And the bar was an unfamiliar environment for him with everyone around being strangers. He remained on alert, observing his surroundings in case something went wrong.Also, his trust issues forb
The sharp pain permeating through her forehead woke Serenity up. She furrowed her eyebrows as she squinted her eyes open. However, a strong force prevented her from opening mouth. Finding her entire body restricted, her eyes turned wide in alertness."Ummm!" Serenity tried to speak through the tape that was plastered across her face.Looking around frantically, she noticed that she was in the back seat of the car. Panic started to settle within her as the ideas of the worst possible situations started to emerge in her head.What is it?Could it be that she was getting kidnapped?Wasn't she with Kieran yesterday? It wasn't possible for anyone to bypass him and take her away.However, what if it is him who sold her off to human traffickers? Could he be that vicious?Horror started to spread through her being as bullets of cold sweats gather
